it's that time of year again!when we all head to the oscars, walking the red red carpet with our favourite dashing hollywood star!

*swoon*now i know you're probably very busy preparing your acceptance speech, doing interviews with vogue & oprah, and tactfully having to turn down offers from johnny depp, george clooney, & josh holloway who are all begging to escort beautiful you! ... but be sure to take a second andshow us what handmade (or vintage) lovelies you'll be wearing to the academy awards!!

just...1. choose a fun frock (or something else)

2. choose a fun accessory for the look.

3. cut & paste a direct link where i can find each item on the net into your comment.

4. make as many 2-part outfits as you'd like (feel free to include goodies from your own work, too, if you' like!)

5. next week i'll include 10 of your looks in a follow up post, and i'll be sure to link to your lovely shop/site, too! great free advertising for creative, dressed-to-the-nines YOU!

6. and hey... if there are LOTS of entries, i'll get the random.org generator to pull a few for us to see!

how fun! I'm an earthy girl, so I'd go with something gray and flowy like this dress: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36624333&ref=sr_gallery_7&&ga_search_query=gray+dress&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

with these sparkly smoky quartz earrings from our shop: http://ripegoods.bigcartel.com/product/petal-earrings-with-wirewrapped-smoky-quartz-gemstone

So much fun! Ok, I'm joining and it was the hardest decision I have ever had to make... since 32 million viewers eyes will be on *me*!

This dress is listed as a wedding gown, but since this is the Oscars, I am dressing to impress. This stunning *cocktail dress* is reminiscent of old hollywood glam and although it is very sexy it has a lot of integrity and looks absolutly classy (my mom will be watching after all!)

I love this shop - it was really hard to decide on just one dress, but I'm loving blue these days...http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41281505
